¡Con golpes NO!: Disciplina efectiva y amorosa para criar hijos sanos
by Martha Alicia ChávezEn ¡Con golpes NO!, Martha Alicia Chávez dirige un llamado a los padres para hacerles saber, de una vez por todas, que educar con límites no es educar con golpes. Martha Alicia Chávez, autora del bestseller Tu hijo tu espejo y referente en temas parenting, ofrece en ¡Con golpes NO! las herramientas para criar a nuestros hijos de una manera efectiva y amorosa. Un libro que, al estilo de Martha Alicia Chávez, nos recuerda por medio de los casos presentados de sus pacientes, que el dolor y las huellas que marcan los padres cuando maltratan a sus hijos son indelebles. Según la OMS, aproximadamente un 20% de las mujeres, y entre un 5 a 10% de los hombres, manifiestan haber sufrido abusos sexuales en la infancia, mientras que un 23% de las personas de ambos sexos refieren maltratos físicos cuando eran niños. Entre las consecuencias de este maltrato se encuentran problemas de salud física y mental duraderos, y efectos sociales y laborales negativos que pueden retrasar el desarrollo económico y social de los países. De ahí que la importancia de este libro. Con su cálida voz, Martha Alicia Chávez nos devela las consecuencias del maltrato infantil y, por supuesto, nos ofrece una gama de herramientas para que no tengamos el pretexto de repetir la clásica idea de "una nalgada a tiempo...". Por el contrario, nos enseña distintas maneras de imponer disciplina y límites sin dejar de demostrar verdadero amor.

Conceivability: What I Learned Exploring the Frontiers of Fertility
by Elizabeth KatkinPart memoir, part guide, this personal and deeply informative account of one woman’s gripping journey through the global fertility industry in search of the solution to her own “unexplained infertility” exposes eye-opening information about the medical, financial, legal, scientific, emotional and ethical issues at stake.Although conception may seem like a simple biological process, this is often hardly the case. While many would like to have children, the road toward conceiving and maintaining a pregnancy can be unexpectedly rocky and winding. Lawyer Elizabeth Katkin never imagined her quest for children would ultimately involve seven miscarriages, eight fresh IVF cycles, two frozen IVF attempts, five natural pregnancies, four IVF pregnancies, ten doctors, six countries, two potential surrogates, nine years, and roughly $200,000. Despite her three Ivy League degrees and wealth of resources, Katkin found she was woefully undereducated when it came to understanding and confronting her own difficulties having children. Shattered by her inability to get and stay pregnant, Katkin surprised even herself by her determination to keep trying. After being told by four doctors she should give up, but without an explanation as to what exactly was going wrong with her body, Katkin decided to look for answers herself. The global investigation that followed revealed that approaches to the fertility process taken in many foreign countries are vastly different than those in the US and UK. In Conceivability, Elizabeth Katkin, now a mother of two, shares her fertility journey. Part memoir, part practical guide—with a foreword by founder of New York Fertility Services Dr. Joel Batzofin—Conceivability sheds light on the often murky and baffling world of conception science, presenting a shocking exposé into the practical and emotional journey toward creating a happy family. Armed with a wealth of knowledge from her years-long fertility struggle, as well as stories from other women and couples, Katkin bravely offers a look inside one of the most difficult, painful, rewarding, and loving journeys a woman can take.

Conceiving Christian America: Embryo Adoption and Reproductive Politics (Anthropologies of American Medicine: Culture, Power, and Practice)
by Risa CromerHow embryo adoption advances the Christian Right’s political goals for creating a Christian nationIn 1997, a group of white pro-life evangelical Christians in the United States created the nation’s first embryo adoption program to “save” the thousands of frozen human embryos remaining from assisted reproduction procedures, which they contend are unborn children. While a small part of US fertility services, embryo adoption has played an outsized role in conservative politics, from high-profile battles over public investment in human embryonic stem cell research to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Based on six years of ethnographic research with embryo adoption staff and participants, Risa Cromer uncovers how embryo adoption advances ambitious political goals for expanding the influence of conservative Christian values and power.Conceiving Christian America is the first book on embryo adoption tracing how this powerful social movement draws on white saviorist tropes in their aims to reconceive personhood, with drastic consequences for reproductive rights and justice. Documenting the practices, narratives, and beliefs that move embryos from freezers to uteruses, this book wields anthropological wariness as a tool for confronting the multiple tactics of the Christian Right. Timely and provocative, Conceiving Christian America presents a bold and nuanced examination of a family-making process focused on conceiving a Christian nation.

Concerning Children
by Charlotte Perkins GilmanNovelist, poet, and social analyst Gilman (1860-1935), known for her vivid analysis and portrayal of the disadvantages society places on women, argued that the prevailing model of child rearing was selfish, concerned with what was believed to be better for parents than with what was known to be better for children. The basis for raising children, she said, should be encouraging them to think, rather than obedience and discipline. There is no index. The 1900 edition was published by Small, Maynard in Boston.
